Ireland's Four Provinces

We stopped in here for a quick meal prior to an evening event.  We had seafood stew.  The seafood was fresh, not tough from overcooking; the broth tasted home made.  

Pretty good and we'll return some day for a more complete meal.

4 Ps is a great local Falls Church bar. It's only a couple blocks from my house so it's pretty much my go-to recommendation when friends want to meet at a bar. The bartenders are awesome and laid back in a good way (and some staff are actually Irish!).

Wednesday nights they have trivia which I used to attend a couple years ago, though I'm sure it's still fun now. It's the type of trivia where they give you a sheet of questions and you and your group write down the answers while someone walks around giving hints (as opposed to answering each question individually). So it's more of a laid back trivia experience.

The food is meh...it's bar food which is always satisfying when you're drunk. They have traditional Irish dishes as well as your typical staples. On Sundays they have a brunch buffet which I've only tried once. I'm not a big binge eater so buffets generally aren't my thing. From what I recall it was so-so.

Overall, I love this place but I don't come here for the food. The service and atmosphere are what keeps you coming back.

No complaints here.  Husband (who used to frequent this place) and I swung in for a last minute drink after a late-night movie.  Seriously, we got there at 0125, but the bartender didn't bat an eye.  He smiled, was friendly, and poured our drinks.  We ran into a friend there randomly, and the bartender even touched base with the guys to see if they wanted one more shot at 0130 before he had to stop selling.  We stood out on the patio to finish our beers and never felt rushed at all.

I've no desire to come here when it's crowded (as I've noticed it often gets) and will likely continue to frequent Spacebar when in the area, but this will be an excellent back-up plan for when SB is closed.
